15 STYLE TIPS TO SLIM YOUR SILHOUETTE.

Here are the most flattering clothes that will make you look longer and leaner.  You likely have most of the items in your closet already, but if you use it as an excuse for some shopping, I won't tell anyone. ;)

SLIM TIP 1 : BOAT NECK.
   Boat neck and off the shoulder tops and dresses widen the shoulder, which balances out the hips, creating proportional figure.

SLIM TIP 2 : VERTICAL STIPES.
   Vertical stripes keep the eye moving up and down, rather from side to side, creating the illusion of a longer and leaner form.

SLIM TIP 3 : WRAP DRESSES.
   The diagonal line of a wrap dress visually whittles the midsection.

SLIM TIP 4 : NUDE SHOES.
   Heels in a similar shape to your skin tone lengthen your legs.

SLIM TIP 5 : BELTS.
   A belt works double time to highlight your waist and make your clothing more form-fitting.
HINT : A slightly wide belt is more flattering than a thin one.

SLIM TIP 6 : PANELED DRESSES. 
   The paneled dress can flatter your figure I multiple ways. Darker panels on the sides make your sides  disappear into the background, and curved. Vertical seams create the illusion of an hourglass figure while lengthening the body

SLIM TIP 7 : HEAD-TO-TOE HUE.
  Wearing the same colour top and bottom creates an uninterrupted vertical line, making you look thinner and taller. Start contrast between your upper & lower body draw eyes to your middle.
TIP : Jumpsuit  is a great way to aachieve this look.

SLIM TIP 8 : FLUTTER SLEEVES.
   Similar to a boat neck, flutter sleeves add volume at the shoulders, making your waist look comparatively smaller and balancing out hips.

SLIM TIP 9 : SLEEK, POINTED-TOE HEELS.
   Shoes with a pointed toe and heel works to lengthen silhouette of calves. Conversely, square & round-toe styles with a chunky heel gives the appearance of a shorter , bulky leg.

SLIM TIP 10 : LONG NECKLACES. 
   Working in the same way as a v-neck top, a long pendant necklace will visually stretch you out for a taller-appearing figure.

SLIM TIP 11 : FLARED PANTS.
   Volume at  the ankle will balance out hips.  GOOD NEWS : The flared style is just coming back into style.

SLIM TIP 12 :  THE RIGHT FABRIC. 
   Materials like cotton, denim and silk lay flat against your body and won't add volume to your figure.  Materials that habe a bulky effect include velvet, leather & boucle.

SLIM TIP 13 : V-NECK.
   The open, upside down triangle creates a high focal point away from your midsection & gives the illusion of a slimmer upper bodt.

SLIM TIP 14 : MEDIUM, STRUCTURED BAG.
   A small purse will make you look  larger in comparison and a large slouchy bag looks sloppy & amorphous.  Carrying a mid sized structured bag will make you look perfectly proportional.

SLIM TIP 15 : MATCHING SHOES AND PANTS.
   Wearing the same colour pants & shoes create an uninterrupted line, making your legs look longer.
TIP : This works best with colour black.
